technically, a rail gun is any weapons on which the projectile suspended by an incomplete barrel (a series of rails). however, I both science fiction and future military discussion, this seems to have changed to an electromagnetic gun (using Linear induction motors to fire the projectile). It is a gun of this types that is seen in Quake.

in this case it's a normal gun on a wagon on rails...

we do not confuse reality with fiction

if you will decide to keep my idea for this disaster, i can send you a lot of pictures, and maybe i can try to paint my own railgun

Nah. from what I've heard there were a couple of prototypes mounted on semi-trailers. One exploded, the other only fired a couple of shots then they bailed.

Probably bull-****, but then again, The yanks are testing a laser cannon mounted in the nose of a 747 (With the entire fuselage filled with the equipment.

I love science magazines

I don't think its possible to change disasters, well, it's impossible even in openttd, The only thing you can do is change the sprites for the helicopter or fighter, even the zep, or the submarine,anything else, so bad luck, this is why the topic was called uselesss stuf

Of course it could be done in OpenTTD, if someone was willing to rewrite all the disaster code.

Yeah, the disaster code will be filled with all-new disasters.

actually the disaster code already existing could probably do this... the problem is that no-one knows how it really works

But you have to be able to turn it off, for if you're playing in Switzerland.

Why not make an army set? Soldiers instead of passengers, confiscated material instead of valuables, orders replace mail and so on

Yes, but that lasted only 5 years or so.
